Dorfman Bankers London

100 gram ingots are some of my favorite to collect and its hard to talk about 100 gram without mention of Dorfman Bankers London ingots. These are fantastic in hand and beautifully done. They came with a blue presentation box, which I have one in my collection with that I’ll share shortly. First, a bit of history on this maker.

Sir Lloyd Dorfman whom these ingots are named after, founded Travelex (now a division of Finablr) the largest foreign exchange retailer in the world. He got his start in 1976 opening a small foreign currency exchange business in Central London. His firm was merged into Travelex in the mid 80s. These ingots appear to be late 70s/early 80s era. Here are examples from my collection.

The first two Dorman pieces that I acquired without the original box. Love these bars and the nice lines and care that went into making them.
